Be Excellent To One Another…

in me,ultimate blog party

If you know the rest of that quote, you and I are destined to be great friends! When I was brainstorming throwing together this post for the 5m4m’s Ultimate Blog Party, this was the first party quote that came to mind. Ahh, Ted “Theodore” Logan and Bill S. Preston, Esq. Those were the good old days before Keanu could dodge bullets.***

If you made it past that first totally random paragraph, yay! Welcome to my Blog Party! At last year’s party I was a newbie blogger and met so many fun friends. I have been really looking forward to this party but just haven’t been able to think of that awesomely creative idea to party with.

I thought about just giving a nice personal intro with a recipe. But I’ve hit my quota for recipes this year. And really a “30 year old sahm” just about covers my bio.

Then I thought about showing pictures of me and my 2 year old, but honestly, just scroll down a few times and you’ll see more than you ever wanted.

Maybe I could do a giveaway…you know, bribe people to love me. But, after giving away a deceased teddy bear last week and a panda finger puppet the week before, I’m just all out of good prizes.

A giant carnival, meme or wordless-wednesday-type-thingie could be fun. But honestly, who has time to look through another Mr. Linky?

Then I got thoughtful and decided to write something deeply profound (are those synonyms?) or maybe even something highly controversial! But, nah, I’m not really feeling it.

Then inspiration hit!

(uh, inspiration? that was your cue! you’re supposed to hit me now!)

Ahem, well.

What I meant to say was that inspiration was still evading me, so I began to pray. I decided to fast all my meals until Friday morning (good thing I already ate dinner!). Then I realized, I’m not really all that super-spiritual.

Come on, now. Think, think, think. What do all the cool bloggers do? What would make me subscribe to a blog’s feed? What would make me stick around and click on a blogger’s about me page? What amazing thing would I have to read to leave an actual comment?

I have no idea. What’s going on at your party?

***

Still don’t know the end to my title quote? It’s “party on, dude!”, of course!

Any other favorite Bill & Ted lines you’d like to share? This one‘s mine.

Oh, and did you see the prizes? Well, there are about 50 that I’d like…but let’s see, my top 3:

37: moby wrap (for my new baby in October!)

20: $50 to paperliciious (because I *heart* all things paper)

117: $25 Target (because I really *heart* Target)

And if those are already taken well, any of these will do:

22
34
39
49
55
58
59
60
70
84
96
11
12
14
15

(Is that just greedy, or what?!)

Thank you Janice & Susan for hosting this rockin’ party!

We’re big B&T fans at our house, so I guessed it right away! :) I believe you’ve been to my site before but come back and enter to win a Peppermint Pattie Pedi kit at MumsTheWurd. Hope to see you over there!

Holly March 9, 2008 at 10:22 pm

I love how absolutely random this post was, I need to come back often–and I got the title of your post immediately, so I guess we really should just be friends already, it is destiny, after all.

ROFL! It can be hard to think of a way to have an on-line party can’t it? I’m sorry inspiration never hit you :-(
But I think your post had a lot humor in it, and that ranks right up there with pictures, recipes, give aways, etc! =)

HI! Just stopping by the blog party! I could really relate to your post. I was thinking the same things when I was trying to come up with the blog party entry! If you get a chance stop by my party.

I am sad that I was not able to participate in this year’s blog party due to sickness, looking for a house, etc… But I’m glad to read your post! I LOVE Bill & Ted…still remember where I was the first time I saw it. At my BFF’s house! I remember (because I was very into music) thinking that it was funny when they talked about “Beeth-Oven”! :-)

Oh my gooness wasn’t Keanu yummy when he used to be funny instead of getting all metaphysical with himself?

I very much enjoyed your blog party – hoping to put mine up tonight.

You are showing your age (and my mine) to say “excellent.” I still think that Keanue aged well and I like the bullet dodging…

Come on by my place. We are having “nothing special” as my Grandma would say (although she would then proceed to whip out a three course meal).
